A unique anti-mosquito invention by an Indian man has taken social media by storm. The homemade device uses a laser-like beam to eliminate mosquitoes mid-air evoking comparisons to missile defense systems and has gone viral for its ingenuity and entertainment value.
In the video, the device emits a quick, bright blue beam that locks onto and kills mosquitoes in flight. The beam appears momentarily and vanishes once the mosquito is zapped. One caption humorously states, “He built an S-400 style anti-mosquito system at home,” followed by a joke that ISRO immediately offered him a job.
The video has sparked a wave of amusement and admiration online, with over 1.9 million views in just two days. One witty comment read, “If he can target mosquitoes mid-air, he can surely tackle satellites too,” jokingly attributing the quote to the ISRO chief. Another user questioned the cost of each mosquito shot, while someone else linked the invention to national defense, warning of mosquito-sized drones in the future.
Though the job offer from ISRO remains a joke, it’s true that the space agency supports grassroots innovation. The device has sparked widespread interest and could open doors for more such creative tech aimed at solving everyday problems.
From pest control to public imagination, this invention has certainly hit the bullseye mid-air.
